I have a G4 Powerbook that I bought in 2001. I once bought an Airport Card for it, but returned it because I was having trouble getting the base station, the card, and the cable modem to communicate (the fault of the cable company).

Now I have a Netgear wireless router with two Macs hard wired, a PC hard wired and a PC wireless. I'd like to go wireless with my Powerbook. I searched on the CDW site for an airport card and only came up with an Airport Extreme card. It mentioned that it works with "Airport Extreme enabled Macs".

Try one of the mail order vendors like MacConnection or Small Dog. I have one of the first PB's and I put an airport card in it that I got from MacConnection. It works great and I wonder how I got along without it all these years. I have the Netgear router at home and Linyx at work. The computer automatically detects each one when I'm within range and configures itself without my having to do anything. It frustrates a co-worker who has a Dell and has to jump through hoops to hook up.
